Maybe make that tapping your finger on scanner will actually wipe device?

Jokes on them, my biometrics don't work most of the time and I have to enter my pin anyway.

I can't find a lockdown mode in MIUI.

One way to enforce the PIN unlock in MIUI if you have it with fingerprint unlock is to tap the fingerprint scanner five times with the wrong finger and it will ask for the PIN. After entering the PIN the fingerprint will work again.

can you set your phone to log into a different..desktop, for lack of a better term, if biometrics are used? while your main is hidden behind a passcode?

You can have multiple users on android. Some plugin should be able to do such a thing.

Per the article, I wonder if they have to "mash" the thumb, or if they can simply press it? 🙄
